3rd WHO Consultation on Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines
15-16 November 2016
The Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines (GAP) was launched in 2006 as a 10-year initiative to address the anticipated shortfall in vaccine supply in the event of a pandemic. The third and final consultation of GAP will be held in Geneva, Switzerland on 15-16 November 2016. In the lead-up to the closure of the GAP and the final consultation, WHO is soliciting an online questionnaire from key stakeholders. The questionnaire is designed to measure stakeholders views on progress and remaining needs under the three objectives of the GAP. Responses will be used to feed into the development of the agenda for the final consultation.
